Day 222 - Stamping Saturday

Sometimes the background of some solid colored cardstock just needs a little something added to it.  It's a great opportunity to pull out those stamps and select a slightly darker shade of the cardstock color to give it a patterned background. 

Is that confusing?

Well, check out DoBea's wonderful example to see what I'm talking about


She's got the tone-on-tone background pattern going on and it sets off the rest of her embellishments beautifully!

You can use a background stamp or use a small stamp to create a pattern of your own.  Either way, it creates a very cool effect...
